Goddess Inspiration Oracle: Sophia

KEYWORDS:
the soul
knowledge
purity

The goddess Sophia is considered the divine embodiment of feminine wisdom; her name translates literally as “wisdom” in Greek. In the ancient Near East, Sophia provided humans with the knowledge needed to create literature and the arts. Sophia symbolized the soul in its purest manifestation, often represented in art as having the form of a dove.

Later history associated Sophia with the Holy Spirit in Gnosticism. Gnosticism—derived from gnosis, the Greek word for knowledge—grew alongside early Christianity. Some gnostic traditions even claimed Sophia as the mother of Christ. An important tenet of gnosticism held that knowledge could free humanity from the shackles of limitation; it enabled the divine spirit every person possessed to return to the unknowable source of creation.
